Since their departure from the Royal Family in 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been actively building their personal brands through various projects, including a memoir, a Netflix series, and a Spotify podcast.

However, their endeavors have not been without controversy.

Both the Netflix series and Harry’s memoir, titled “Spare,” received backlash due to the couple’s criticism of the Royal Family.

The fallout continued when their Spotify deal was terminated after just one season of Meghan’s podcast, “Archetypes.”

Bill Griffiths, Spotify’s head of podcast innovation, went as far as branding the couple as the “Grifters,” while others have labeled them as Hollywood’s biggest losers.

PR expert Mark Bowski commented on the situation, stating that although Harry strives to create valuable and meaningful content, he may face difficulties in doing so.

According to Bowski, platforms like Netflix and Spotify do not believe that the type of content the Sussexes want to produce holds any value.

He added that people are more interested in sensationalized news rather than the values the couple aims to promote.

Bowski also pointed out that by appearing at red carpets and premieres, Meghan and Harry put themselves on display for those who might hire or use them.

Unfortunately, their attempts to portray their values through high-end projects have not yielded the desired results.

The couple finds themselves in need of financial stability.

Recent reports suggest that Meghan and Harry’s lucrative $100 million contract with Netflix is now uncertain following an uncomfortable encounter at a Beyoncé concert.

During the event, Meghan managed to secure a spot in the same box as Ted Sandoz, the CEO of Netflix, and his wife Nicole.

Other notable celebrities were also present, including Kris Jenner, Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, Kerry Washington, and more.

However, according to Scandalous Media, Sandoz and his wife requested that security remove Meghan from their section, as she was not personally invited.

A source claims that Meghan’s behavior in such situations comes across as desperate and fangirlish, which is not well-received in the competitive world of Hollywood.

The contract between Harry, Meghan, and Netflix is set to expire in 2025.

However, there are concerns that it may be terminated earlier, especially after the controversial portrayal of Harry in the final season of “The Crown.”

In the show, he is depicted as a slimy, unintelligent, drug-abusing, whining brat with a bowl cut and a sleazy gold chain.

On the other hand, his brother William is portrayed as a shrewd international heartthrob.

Royal expert Angela Levin believes that Harry may be angered by the scene in which King Charles informs his sons about their mother’s tragic death in a car crash in Paris.

Levin highlights that Harry previously mentioned in his memoir that his father did not comfort or hold him during that moment.

However, the showrunners of “The Crown” chose to depict a different scenario, where Charles is shown being affectionate towards his son.

As Meghan and Harry navigate their way through the entertainment industry, it remains to be seen whether their Netflix deal will survive the challenges they currently face.

The encounter at the Beyoncé concert has raised doubts about their future with the streaming giant.

With their contract set to expire in a few years, the couple must find a way to overcome these hurdles and prove their worth in an industry that demands constant success.
